It is important to allow each member of the family to have their own space including yourself. You've heard of "Man Caves" for men well women need to have their own personal space too and call it what you want as long as you can have it to yourself. Some of my favorite designed spaces were for personal spaces . A converted bedroom, garage or basement as a "studio" where you can be your most creative.
You can put anything you want in your space that makes you happy like an overstuffed chair for reading, a large table as a design surface, a place to put all of your collections....doesn't matter as long as the space functions for you as a creative outlet. It doesn't need to cost a lot of money because this is where you can refurbish items to fit the theme. Just start making lists of what you want your space to reflect. I've seen some great makeovers that would make anyone want in their home. The size can be whatever you can spare. I've always wanted to put up a cool shed in the backyard around 12' X 14' where I could only have craft supplies at my disposal without having to put things away when you're in the middle of a project.....all you would need is electricity and a ceiling fan, lots of storage and a great surface for creating. If you are lucky enough to have a large backyard consider creating your own oasis there. Kids have tree houses and play houses why can the grown-ups.....
